"Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility,must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and notlightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, orthe empty catchphrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decidewhat is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic andwhich isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against yourconvictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both toyourself and to your country, let man label you as they may. If you alone ofall the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right wayaccording to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty byyourself and by your country- hold up your head! You have nothing to beashamed of. " Mark Twain
